  Do you like puzzle games? I played Blue Prince with my wife and that was pretty fun. She’s not much of a gamer, so I just drove and she took notes. We talked about decisions/speculated on puzzles together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sincere question: why play long video games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love Cyan games. Not just Myst, I still play whatever they put out to this day.

  I first experienced those games watching my dad play them, so they were very formational for me. I went on to play lots of other point and click adventure games, too.

  I haven’t done much with VR. I don’t own any of the tech and I’ve only tried it once. To be honest it was a bit nauseating for me so I haven’t had much desire to try it again.

  So would you rather be able to experience your own ideas, since you don’t like experiencing other people’s? For me getting to see an imagined setting is very fun (when it’s a good one). Same goes for movies and books. I’ve always been a fantasy and SciFi fan (though I hate generic fantasy and scifi, it needs to be an interesting setting I haven’t seen before for me to really get into it)

  For me my favorite thing in games is exploring and being immersed in a world I could never experience in real life. Because of that I enjoy a lot of big open world games that do tend to be long. For me I really enjoy poking around and finding all the nooks and crannies, so having a big world with lots of that means more fun to be had!

  Not in west coast american English at least. I don’t think I would ever mix these up where I live either.

  I think it must not be a thing for everyone cause I’ve never related to the post clarity thing either.

  I think in the us it is dramatically larger for iOS. Last time I checked I think it was 75% share?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pet Peeves with Games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish more games did better sign posting too. I’m not a fan of following the dotted line, but I see too many games where there’s no other way to do it. The NPC tells you to go somewhere, and doesn’t actually give you directions.

  Or “step family”. How does that even work? No one is blood related? That’s just 4 roommates 😅

  I thought the same thing. I would honestly argue that metroidvanias were open worlds before we had that term. There are some that are more linear than others, but many of them are very exploration heavy and don’t have a single order you must do things in.

  Not to mention a lot of them even have private rooms for pretty cheap.

  I don’t agree because I love well cooked turkey, but there aren’t any rules so you’re free to not cook one if you don’t want to! No consensus necessary.

  How could i know what you do in your spare time? You haven’t shared it until now. I can only go off of what you’ve said on this thread, and I do not retract my criticism of it. This will be the last response, so I hope you have a good day and thank you for making a difference in the world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every day is a blessing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  once.

  Oh no it found us even here!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Activists Are Using ‘Fortnite’ to Fight Back Against ICE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can understand that perspective, but I also think you’re making a lot of assumptions about whether this was effective or not. Based on your original comment you don’t know, so I’m just encouraging benefit of the doubt instead of shitting on things for not being perfect.

  Maybe as an activist yourself you could get in touch with this organization in the post and suggest some more effective methods for what they’re trying to achieve? That would be practicing what you’re preaching instead of just leaving comments online. Just my 2 cents, and I wish you well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Activists Are Using ‘Fortnite’ to Fight Back Against ICE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I say this respectfully, but has making negative comments about people trying to do good and educate others ever improved the situation?

  I think it’s easy to be jaded right now, I struggle with it myself, but remember that this kind of knee jerk criticism is very deflating for some people to read. You might feel like it’s an outlet for you, but it can cause others to feel hopeless and depressed.

  I don’t believe you want that, so I would encourage you to be more supportive of attempts at change, not just results. Changing hearts and minds is a long and imperfect process.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Activists Are Using ‘Fortnite’ to Fight Back Against ICE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This seems like a really smart thing to do. Meet people where they are.

  I also enjoy the fact that things like this probably make these massive corporate platforms sweat a little. People always find ways to subvert and I’m here for it.

  This is something I’ve wanted to see explored a lot for years. Excited to see a big studio trying it.

  So exciting and what a surprise!

  I’ll be honest, I’m having a hard time judging what they did to the visuals in the screenshots. I think I need a before and after.
